BMC Atrium Discovery can now discover and model the load balancing instances and their configuration for certain NetworkDevice nodes that were previously displayed with a Type of Layer 3 Switch. You can discover dedicated hardware load balancers such as Application Delivery Controllers from F5 or Citrix (NetScaler), or the virtualized versions of these devices.

Load Balancer Discovery

Load balancer information is discovered using SNMP. When BMC Atrium Discovery finds a hardware or virtualized Application Delivery Controller (ADC) that has load balancer options enabled, it creates a network device node and triggers the load balancer discovery TPL patterns to query the necessary information about the related load balancing components, including pools, hosts and services. As soon as these elements are discovered, the following nodes (with relationships) are modeled, where applicable:
